TL;DR: Results suggest that CrAS and CrAO are involved in the pentacyclic triterpene biosynthesis in C. roseus.

TL;DR: Biochemical analysis demonstrated that the AabHLH1 protein was capable of binding to the E-box cis-elements, present in both ADS and CYP71AV1 promoters, and possessed transactivation activity in yeast, suggesting that Aab HLH1 can positively regulate the biosynthesis of artemisinin.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the inhibition pathway in the precursor competition for artemisinin biosynthesis by anti-sense technology is an effective means of increasing the art Artemisinin content of A. annua plants.

TL;DR: To the knowledge, PcPKS5 is the first reported three-intron STS gene in flowering plants, and it is speculated that this involved a possible evolutionary route of plant-specific type III PKS superfamily in P. cuspidatum.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endogenous generation of H2O2 rather than that of O2− is a key factor in YE-induced accumulation of biphenyl phytoalexins in cell cultures of S. aucuparia, and exogenous supply of H 2O2 in the range of 0.05–10 mM failed to induce auc uparin accumulation.
